Long-distance hikes
The meaning of hiking is to be on the move
No matter if you choose Gurgl as a starting point or a stage stop where your body and mind can recharge overnight: Gurgl enjoys an excellent reputation among long-distance hikers. The easy Ötztaler Urweg trail runs here as well as the moderately difficult Ötztal Trek - both of which circle Ötztal at different altitudes. The queen’s stage of the E5 European long-distance hiking trail also starts in Obergurgl and continues over Timmelsjoch Pass and the national border towards South Tyrol.
